Cyber Security Monitoring Service follows an advanced service, three-step methodology—Diagnose, Implement and Sustain—to help ensure the control system safety and security. Step 1: Diagnose The Cyber Security Monitoring Service collects system data for comparison against industry best practices and standards to pinpoints areas that require action. Access ports, unneeded and outdated software, the status of security patches, procedures, protocols and applications are examined.
Step 2: Implement Based on a thorough analysis, an implementation plan is developed by ABB and the customer through a collaborative review. After the plan has been agreed, improvements can be delivered incrementally or all at once. Phased implementation ensures that process and equipment changes can be made and maintained with steady progress toward performance goals.
Step 3: Sustain The Cyber Security Monitoring Service provides 24/7 monitoring capabilities to sustain benefits achieved after recommended changes are made to help to system security is maintained. Continuous or periodic monitoring help to discover unintentional or malicious security breaches to allow rapid responses.
